Problem: Make warnings are generally useful, but in special cases they can be spurious. It'd be nice to be able to control them.
Solution: Create a new make special variable "MAKE_SILENCEWARNINGS". By default it is not set (empty). If it's non-empty (true), then make does not print make warnings. Make errors are still printed, and commands (which can generate messages) are unaffected. It's expected that MAKE_SILENCEWARNINGS would typically be used as a target-specific or pattern-specific private special variable. E.g., weird-thing: MAKE_SILENCEWARNINGS = true --- David A.
